Sorry, I’ve been away for a while, that’s because I’ve gone back home to visit my family for Chinese New Year – Yes, I’m Chinese but I see myself as a banana (my skin is yellow but inside me is quite Westernized, or maybe?) – Okay, enough of this. Regarding to the previous blog post, the good news was referred to Warriors Orochi 3 is coming to both US and EU. We were preparing the press release but it got delayed due to the approval so I didn’t manage to announce it during that time but it’s announced when I was away, so that was the good news. The bad news (not for all) is Warriors Orochi 3 is Japanese dubs with English subs. I’ve played through the game, it’s nice (I personally prefer Japanese voice anyways so it’s not a big issue for me) but I think it’s not very positive for those who prefer to hear English voice so you don’t have to pay attention to the text. Oh well, really sorry about this, I know exactly how you feel…

Anyway, if you want to know more about Warriors Orochi 3 (there are many many guest characters from other games) – please visit the official site @ http://warriorsorochi.co.uk/3/ – Warriors Orochi 3 is for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, available in stores on March 20, 2012 (US) and March 30, 2012 (EU).

Now for the Dynasty Warriors 7 (for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) and Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends (for PlayStation 3)’s DLC this month. Both DLC are available for both Dynasty Warriors 7 and Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, they’re the same content.

Good luck!! Hope you’re one of the 7 winners there! As usual, if there’s anything you want from me, feel free to drop a comment or tweet me @inspchin – I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks to you!

This is the schedule for the 3rd batch of Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends (PS3) DLC, coming to Europe on January 18, 2012 and North America a day earlier, which is January 17, 2012. This is my personal opinion – I think some of them are worth to purchase (especially the Fantasy Costume), but some of them aren’t (especially you have to pay for the wallpapers with such price *I wouldn’t*), it’s just what I think.

It’s Thursday and here I’m sharing the information of Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends DLC! No, it ain’t Thursday yet, but since you’re special to me (and I want you to feel special at the same time) so I want to share this to you earlier. Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends has been released and is now available in stores. The first pack of the DLC (downloadable content) is coming in this end of November. Before that, I would like to tell you there is no Dynasty Warriors 7 related DLC this month in November, but just Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, then after that, we’ll have both of them coming.

Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends is coming out this week on PlayStation 3. So this is the final push to explain the main modes in the game – Legends Mode and Challenge Mode. Apart from the extra new costumes, new weapons and moves, this article will be mainly focusing on those 2 modes as mentioned.

————————–
LEGEND MODE
————————–
You choose the officer (65 of them for you to choose) and play as and an Adjutant to support you. The officers you select will be made Prefect of the Castle Town. The atmosphere of the town will change depending on the Adjuntant selected. As you clear the stages with your officer, his/her abilities will increase. You may change your officer at any time in the Castle Town, and you can change your Adjutant by visiting the Counselor. Also, some characters have brand new costumes too!

As for the Castle Town, you can assign your selected officer as the Prefect. By clearing the stages within the game, a variety of trades and other people will begin to populate the town, changing its atmosphere and look. The atmosphere of the Castle Town is also influenced by who you choose as your Adjutant. Here’s the ATMOSPHERE with its details.
Desolate – The Prefect has just started ruling the town. There are few people and the Castle Town is in ruins.
Orderly – The Attack and Defense of your officer during battles in Legend Mode will increase.
Carefree – The price of items sold within the Castle Town will increase.
Friendly – Use one Adjutant for a long period of time to attain a Friendly atmosphere. You may receive gifts from your Adjutant.

There are more explanations about the Town Characters and how each of them functions, and these are the main ones.
Weapon Dealer – To help you to create your weapons.
Blacksmith – You can leave your weapon here by paying the fee, and your Seal Gauge will increase depending on your battle’s performance.
Counselor – Choose the officer to be your Adjutant. The goods within the town and your abilities in battle will differ fom what you’ve chosen.
Strategist – Purchase war manuals.
Merchant – Send the merchant to visit various locations to obtain rare treasures, guardian animals (to support you in battle) and weapons.
City Guard – You only talk to him when you’re ready to select a stage and go to battle.

One new thing for the Legend Mode is while upgrading your officer, you can acquire titles as well. Titles enable you to receive various abilities. They are specific to each officer and can only be obtained within Legend Mode. You are able to use the effects gained from these titles anywhere except in Challenge Mode. If you clear stages within Legend Mode, all of the officers will receive the title, “Lieutenant General,” and you will be able to check them within the Pause Menu by going to OFFICER INFO and checking TITLES. Afterward, if you complete the requirements listed under TITLES for each officer, then you will be able to receive even higher-ranked titles. Once you receive the highest-ranked title, you will receive elaborate garments that you can check under OUTFITS in OFFICER INFO, and your abilities will increase.

————————–
CHALLENGE MODE
————————–
This mode allows you to compete in various challenges, each with their own rules. You can play with 1 player or 2 players offline and online.

Rampage
– Try to defeat as many enemies as possible within the given time limit. The challenge will be complete if time runs out or if your officer loses all of his or her Health. If you use an EX Attack, then your Attack will be doubled for 30 seconds.

Bridge Melee
– Try and knock off as many enemies as possible from an elevated platform within the given time limit. The challenge will end if your officer falls from the platform or loses all of his or her Health. If you use an EX Attack, then your Defense will be doubled for 30 seconds.

Speed Run
– Try to reach the specified destination as quickly as possible. The challenge will end if time runs out or if your officer loses all of his or her Health. If you use an EX Attack, then your Speed will be doubled for 30 seconds.

Arena
– Try to defeat as many enemy officers as possible. The Health of your officer cannot be replenished. The more enemy officers you defeat, the stronger subsequent ones will become. The challenge will end if your officer loses all of his or her health. If you use an EX attack, then your Attack will be doubled for 30 seconds.

Yes, finally. I was about to blog about the DLC today but it seems it’s too fast for it as the game hasn’t really come out yet (or maybe some of you have already got it) – but as much as I can tell you now is in this picture. I’ll be back!

I’ve received some questions about how REMIX (“MixJoy” in Japanese version) works and here are some explanations about it. Basically for Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, you don’t need a copy of Dynasty Warriors 7 in order to play it because they have different modes. For example, in Dynasty Warriors 7, you have STORY MODE and CONQUEST MODE, but in Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, you have LEGEND MODE and CHALLENGE MODE. But if you have a copy of Dynasty Warriors 7 and want to carry the save data from there over to Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, you can. This is what REMIX feature is about.

By using saved data from Dynasty Warriors 7, your officer growth, weapons, guardian animals, gold and more can be used in Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends. But in case of the skills, only the amount of Skill Points used to learn them will be carried over. The skills themselves will need to be relearned. When you start up the game, you will be asked if you wish to carry over your saved data, so be sure to select YES at that time.

If you load from the disc of Dynasty Warriors 7 via REMIX feature, you will be able to play its Story Mode and Conquest Mode within the game as well. For this, after selecting REMIX from the Main Menu, follow the on-screen instructions to insert the Dynasty Warriors 7 disc and load the necessary data – But then, I have to say please do not worry if you don’t have a Dynasty Warriors 7 copy, you can still play Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends. The REMIX is really just using the data that you already have from Dynasty Warriors 7.

Playing STORY MODE in REMIX – In Dynasty Warriors 7, you have the fixed characters to choose in order to proceed the story. So this time, if you’re using the REMIX feature to transfer the data from Dynasty Warriors 7 to Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, you’re able to select your favourite office (any of them) to play the Story Mode. You can play this mode in 1-2 players. You can also play this mode online.

Playing CONQUEST MODE in REMIX – For this, you can select all the officers from the beginning. The Legendary Battles can be played with any character you choose. Within the towns, you can enjoy new events featuring Guo Jia, Wang Yi and Pang De (which are the 3 new characters added in Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends).

I hope this clears everything out regarding the REMIX features and as for DLC you’ve purchased for Dynasty Warriors 7, they can be used in Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends as well (costumes and weapons) and as for the extra stages you will need a copy of Dynasty Warriors 7 in order to play it. Talking about the new characters, I’ve also included the gameplay video of Guo Jia, Wang Yi and Pang De, so you can see how their moves are like.

Pang De – He’s the returning character from Dynasty Warriors 5. A former servant under Ma Teng and Ma Chao from Xiliang. Then he meets Cao Cao and sets forth as a warrior of Wei.

Guo Jia – This character was created due to the request from the fans’ votes on Famitsu (well this kind of thing only happened in Japan) – hope someday it happened in overseas here. He’s a strategist under Cao Cao and highly regarded by Cao Cao.

Wang Yi – Daughter of the noble Wang family. having lost her family in the battle at Xiliang, all she wants is Ma Chao’s head. Yeah, talk about the revenge…
